Dear Juno Or Any Other Teen In a Similar Situation,
From what it seems in your movie, you live pretty close to a store. Why is it that you didn't walk there and buy condoms before having sex? Seems pretty irresponsible and stupid to me. Although at the beginning of your movie you showed immaturity, as time went on you made very wise decisions for not only yourself, but for your baby. I have to give you props for being able to carry your child and create that connection, literally, for 9 months and then "popping it out" and giving it up for adoption. That is something I personally could never do. I am also glad that you turned around from the abortion clinic and didn't take the easier way out of your mistake. Although I am not completely against abortion and would consider myself pro-choice, I do believe it should be with limits and A LOT more rare then it is in this day and age. I believe that girls in situations similar to yours should choose the adoption alternative rather than abortion because they are plenty capable of carrying a baby for 9 months and giving it to a loving family rather than killing it, and still fulfilling their life goals. Many argue that they would not choose to give it up for adoption and would rather abort it because they couldn't handle giving it up for adoption after holding it or bonding with it. But that is the stupidest argument I think you could make because if you cared at all for the poor thing why wouldn't you want your child to LIVE and have a chance at life rather than KILLING it.
I also think people are way to quick to judge teen parents. I believe that a teen mother is plenty capable of supporting their child and giving them a great life. I know it must have been hard dealing with the whispers and judgments of people in your life, but I admire you immensely for not allowing their judgement to phase your personally.
After poking away at your life and choices I think it would only be fair to explain mine a little bit. My name is Adrianna H. and I am currently a senior in high school. I have a boyfriend of almost 2 years and I am not, nor have I ever been, pregnant. I have not been in the position you have been put in but I do know what I would do if i was. I personally love babies so much and genuinely want one of my own very young. I think that young parents that have actually planned out their pregnancy and plan to be good parents and providers for their child should not fall into the stereo type of typical teen parents.
In the end I admire your choices and wish you the best of luck in the years to come. Take precaution next time!
